Chapter 38 The Original Reason for the Matter [Request for Catch-up Reading

“Attacking and killing us Foundation Establishment Elders who are out here?”

Hearing Shen Ruyan’s words, Jiang Chengxuan’s heart was suddenly startled.

He suddenly recalled the two demonic cultivators that he had encountered after leaving the Shen Clan of Immortals.

Could it be that those two people back then, their mission was to be responsible for attacking and killing them, the elders of the Shen Clan Immortal Clan who had gone out?
If that was the case, then the attack on himself back then seemed to make sense.

“Uh, Elder Jiang, what’s wrong?”

Seemingly sensing Jiang Chengxuan’s abnormality, Shen Ruyan couldn’t help but inquire with some suspicion.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengxuan didn’t hide anything, and immediately told the story of how he had encountered two demonic cultivators who had attacked and killed him after he had left the Shen Clan’s Immortal Clan.

After Shen Ruyan heard this, her face immediately changed.

“Elder Jiang, all that you said, can it be true?”

Jiang Chengxuan nodded.

“Elder Ruyan, take a look at this.”

With that, Jiang Chengxuan took out from his own body the sharp clawed magic weapon that the black-robed strong man had used back then.

Then, he took out some items from the tall and thin man’s storage bag.

“Are these ……?”

Shen Ruyan’s eyes instantly condensed.

Reaching out, she picked up the items for inspection.

A short while later, she couldn’t help but take a deep breath and nodded, saying:

“Indeed, they are the things used by that gang of Devil Dao cultivators.

This sharp clawed magic weapon, if I remember correctly, should be the one used by a fellow named Zhao Ghost Hand.

Also these items ……”

Shen Ruyan recalled a little, and then he continued as if he had remembered something:
“They should be things used to sacrifice certain types of evil souls.

Combined with Elder Jiang’s description you gave earlier, that person, most likely, is a fellow called Guo Evil Spirit.

His famous magic weapon is a demonic blade that has reached the lower grade of the second rank, as well as a flag streamer that can summon evil spirits.”

As the words came to this point, Shen Ruyan seemed to have realized something and couldn’t help but look at Jiang Chengxuan with some trepidation:

“Elder Jiang, you just said that the two people, Zhao Ghost Hand and Guo Evil Spirit, all died in your hands?”

“Uh-huh.”

Jiang Chengxuan nodded.

In this matter, he didn’t feel there was anything to hide.

Especially at a moment like the one at hand.

But he eventually added a sentence.

“That was a fluke on my part as well, but if they had been a little more cautious, the outcome might have been different.”

There was nothing wrong with what he said.

The reason why Jiang Chengxuan was able to decapitate those two people had a lot to do with their initial gullibility as well.

But no matter what, the fact that he was able to behead a Foundation Establishment 3rd layer and a Foundation Establishment 4th layer demonic cultivator with a cultivation at the 2nd Foundation Establishment layer was a reflection of his own strength.

Although Shen Ruyan didn’t know the specifics of the situation, she could imagine the ferocity of the situation, and she let out a long sigh of relief when she heard this, saying:
“Fortunately Elder Jiang you are not in trouble, otherwise ……”

The rest of the words Shen Ruyan did not say, but Jiang Chengxuan clearly felt a trace of biting coldness from her body.

This caused him to faintly stare while at the same time, a trace of warmth could not help but rise in his heart.

Some words really didn’t need to be said too clearly.

Moving on, neither of them continued to stay here for much longer, and soon headed to the main peak of Mount Yu Hua together.

Here, several elders of the Shen Clan of Immortals had already gathered at this time.

Among them were Xiong Wandao, Xu Qianhe, and Shen Changnian.

The faces of several people were all very unsightly.

Obviously, what had happened earlier had caused these few elders of the Shen Clan’s Immortal Clan to feel extremely angry.

At this moment, when they saw Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan coming over, they couldn’t help but nod at each other in greeting.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan obviously weren’t in the mood to say anything at this point, and casually found a place and sat down.

Not a moment later, as the contemporary Shen Clan’s Immortal Clan’s patriarch Shen Daoming, was driving a recluse flew over.

When he walked in, only then did the crowd see, in his hands now, is carrying a bloody human head, is staring wide-eyed, a dead look.

“This is …… it?”

The faces of the crowd couldn’t help but all reveal a flash of shock.

Shen Daoming glanced at the crowd and then spoke in a cold voice:

“This person is that Chen Jiuxia, a devil cultivator at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, and one of the culprits of this attack on my Thousand Willows Market.”

“It’s him!”

Hearing Shen Daoming’s explanation, everyone present instantly reacted.

At the same time, they were all a little surprised in their hearts.

It was unthinkable that Chen Jiuxia, a demonic cultivator of the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, had actually died in the hands of their Shen Immortal Clan’s Clan Master.

From this, it seemed that this Shen Clan Immortal Clan Master of theirs was afraid that he was not far away from that Purple House Upper Human Realm.

Only to see Shen Daoming casually throwing that Chen Jiuxia’s head to the ground, he turned to speak and said to the crowd:
“In a moment, I will use him to pay tribute to the clansmen and family cultivators who died in this battle, as well as the more than 800,000 innocent Yin spirits that were victimized by them.

For now, let’s talk about what happened this time and some of the subsequent arrangements.”

As he spoke, Shen Daoming’s gaze was already skimming over the crowd one by one, and then he spoke again:

“Truth be told, there is about my Shen Clan’s Immortal Clan’s encounter this time, it is actually a retaliation of those demonic cultivators against my Shen Clan.”

“Hm?”

Hearing Shen Daoming’s words, the faces of the few people present could not help but all reveal a touch of doubt.

Obviously, they were not clear on what exactly Shen Daoming was referring to when he spoke of retaliation here.

Then he heard Shen Daoming continue, ”More than a hundred years ago, our Shen Clan Immortal Clan’s present-day old ancestor had led my Shen Clan Immortal Clan’s cultivators to destroy a devil cultivator stronghold.

In that instance, our old ancestor decapitated a demonic cultivator at the Purple Mansion realm at that time, and also slaughtered dozens of Foundation Establishment stage demonic cultivators.

However, because there were so many devil cultivators in that devil cultivation stronghold at that time who had gone out for good and were not present, it was not possible to eliminate all of them.

And this time, my Shen Clan’s encounter is the work of the surviving remnants of that demonic cultivator stronghold.

The most important thing is that one of them, not long ago broke through to the realm of the Purple House, using the Purple House demonic cultivator left behind a magic treasure, was temporarily hidden from the perception of my clan ancestors.

Fortunately, my clan had left a certain amount of backstops in that Thousand Willows Marketplace early on, otherwise, I’m afraid that this time, the losses of my Shen Clan’s Immortal Clan would have been far more than that.”

After hearing Shen Daoming’s words, even Xiong Wandao and Xu Qianhe, such old men of the Shen Clan Immortal Clan, could not help but show some surprise on their faces.

Obviously, they did not realize that there was actually such an original reason hidden behind this attack.

Jiang Chengxuan even said a secret cry of danger.

Fortunately, the ones who had targeted him that day were only two devil cultivators at the third or fourth level of Foundation Establishment.

If two late Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators had come over, then he would have been in real danger.

“Brother Daoming, then I wonder about that demonic cultivator from the Purple Mansion realm, how exactly is he doing now?”

At this time, Xiong Wandao and Xu Qianhe looked at Shen Daoming and couldn’t help but ask.
